WCD ~ Christmas cards 🎄

Lørdag var det 'World Cardmaking Day' og jeg lagde to kort til TPC Magazine sitt facebook event scrappetreff. Artikkel med Galleri og Top3 blir lagt ut den 10 oktober, med enda en vinner ~ og jeg kommer til å oppdatere med link her. De første vinnerne var lagt ut i egen bloggpost her på søndag kveld :)

Oppdatering: Topp 3 og Galleri fra TPC! Disse kortene er i Galleri: Teknikk.

Kjempemoro å delta og se alt det flotte som ble lagd iløpet av dagen ♥ Mye å se på rundt om på nett denne helga også, men jeg var spesielt fascinert av Tim Holtz sin live på youtube med de nye hus-diesene! Oj, det blir hardt for lommeboka, men det blir nok julegave til meg selv ;)

Det var tre utfordringer, og jeg valgte en av dem ~ Teknikk: Fargelagt motiv på kort ~ og distress ink med akvarell maling som er min favorittmåte å fargelegge stempeltrykk på. Ble to julekort for det trenger man alltid flere av! Og motiv denne gangen er med søte Penny Black og hÄnglar motiv ♥ ♥ ♥

Saturday was the 'World Cardmaking Day' and I participated in a Cyber Crop that the scandinavian TPC Magazine held in an event on Facebook. There were so many awesome creations and I had fun making theese two cards for one of the three challenges ~ Technique: Make a card with a handcolored motif.
Winners was chosen >on this blogpost here< sunday night, and on october 10th there will be another winner with a gallery and top3 chosen creations at TPC wich I will update here with a link. 

UPDATE: Top 3 and a Gallery was posted at TPC here.

There were lots of fun lives throughout saturday and the rest of the weekend dedicated to WCD, however the one video I was most facinated by was the Tim Holtz live on youtube. Those little house dies are amazing! Definitly going to have to give them to myself for christmas! :D

I ended up making two christmascards, because you always need more of those! The watercolored motifs are of the supercute Penny Black and the sweet girl is an old hÄnglar & stÄnglar stamp ~ now renamed as hÄnglar & Wings ♥

Jurassic Dinosaur card! 🦕

 

Jurassic Park serien av filmer er en av mine absolutt favoritter, spesielt den orginale trilogien, men jeg elsker Chris Pratt filmene også! ♥ Sommern 2021 kommer den tredje Jurassic World filmen, og jeg tror det kommer til å bli helt EPISK bra! Spielberg er tilbake og skal produsere, og Jeff Goldblum, Sam Neill og Laura Dern er på rollelista! 
Har du fått med deg 'Battle at Big Rock' kortfilmen? Den handler om hva som skjedde etterpå at dinosaurene slapp fri fra fangenskap inne på fastlandet...

Mitt dino kort er DT bidrag hos Creative Fingers #178. Angelique er vår sponsor denne gang, med et dies-sett til vinneren! Så vi hadde fire tøyler til å bruke fra våre egne stempler og stæsj. Som alltid har vi et 'Lag-hva-du-vil' tema, og velkommen skal du være :)

Kjenner du igjen disse designerarkene? Har hatt dem gjemt unna i årevis! Basic Grey lagde utrolig flotte kolleksjoner med ark som var helt unike ~ og desverre fins de ikke lengre. Så jeg har vært veldig sparsommelig med å bruke av de jeg har. 'Måtte' ta noen til å dekorere dette kortet da, bare helt perfekt match!
Stempelmotivet er fra the Greeting Farm og jeg har drodlet sirkel rammen selv og gjort det til et digitalt stempel. Syns det lignet litt på steiner og sånne sedimenter under jordskorpen!

Jurassic Park is one of my absolute favourite series of movies, especially the original trilogy, but I LOVE the new Chris Pratt ones too ♥ really looking forward to next years Jurassic World movie! It is going to be EPIC with Jeff Goldblum back together with Sam Neill and Laura Dern, as well as Spielberg producing!
Have you seen 'Battle at Big Rock', the short story movie yet? Its about what happens when a bunch of dinosaurs are let loose on the mainland!

see Battle at Big Rock on Youtube

This dino themed card is my DT creation for challenge #178. at Creative Fingers. Our DT Angelique is kindly our sponsor this time with a die set for the challenge winner! So we had free reigns on the designteam to create with our own images and stash :)
As always it is an 'Anything goes theme'. You are more than welcome to join with your creations ♥

I have had theese papers (see inside also) for ages, not willing to 'spend' them as they are quite unique. Do u remember all the awesome papers collections from Basic Grey? So sad they quit making papers.. but I had to use at least some of them for my dino card. So perfect match for it!
The little boy is a Greeting Farm stamp, and the doodled bubble circle frame is a digistamp I made myself. Looking very much like stones or sediments below the ground right? :)

Fairytale Christmascards!

Her er noen julekort som var utrolig enkle å kjapt å lage ~ noen ganger trenger man det også! Spesielt rett før jul ;) 

Jeg elsker å fargelegge motiver, men her har jeg bare brukt motiver klipt ut fra design papirark eller ferdig farget digitalt motiv skrevet ut på kartong. Og masse resteark og pynt fra tidligere års julekort-laging, som jeg oppbevarer i en egen folder ~ den begynner å bule i sømmene så full er den! 

Det er også alltid en bra ting å resirkulere gamle julekort, så alle disse er gamle kjedelige julekort fra ca 20 år siden som istedenfor å bli kastet blir nye med fine ark og pynt ♥

Har du forresten sett Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas blogcandy? Jeg sponser et av de tre stempelsettene man kan vinne der, innen 10. januar! :)

Here are some christmascards wich was incredibly quick and easy to create, as most of the cardingredients were ready to add on. Sometimes you need those too ~ especially close to christmas!

I love colouring motifs, but here I've only used pre-colored ones printed out, or motifs cutout from designerpapers. Also a whole lot of scrap papers and embellishments from earlier years of christmas cardmaking. I keep those in a big folder, wich has now started to come apart at the seams... it's that full!

It's also a good thing to recycle old christmas cards, so all of the cardblanks here are generic boring old christmascards that has been sitting in a box since 20 years ago. Better to re-use instead of throw away! All new with some pretty paper and decorations ♥

Have you seen Creative Fingers DTs ~ Christmas BlogCandy? I'm sponsoring one of the three stampsets there! You have until Jan.10th to enter :)
